We’re rolling this program out to select agents. If you’re interested in joining the affiliate program — earning membership-renewal credits for referring other agents to join General Referral — reach out by email at support@generalreferral.com or by text at 201-263-4460. This is an experiment, and we’re looking for agents willing to try it and share feedback.
Know another real estate agent who’d be a good fit for General Referral? Share your personal referral link. When they join through it, they get $20 off their first invoice and you earn a $20 credit toward a future membership renewal — with no limit on how many agents you can refer.

This is an agent-to-agent program: you’re inviting other licensed real estate agents to join General Referral for the first time. It’s separate from submitting a client referral to another agent to earn a commission — that’s a different process entirely.
The reward is for bringing new agents to General Referral. A reactivating member — someone rejoining after previously cancelling — isn’t eligible: they don’t get the $20 off, and you don’t earn the $20 credit for referring them. See the rules below.

​
How it works

1

Copy your referral link

Every active member has a personal referral link on the dashboard, in the Referral Link card. It looks like https://app.generalreferral.com/join?r=YOURCODE.
2

Share it with an agent

Send it to a colleague who’s thinking about hanging their license to earn referral income. They use your link to start their sign-up.
3

They join and onboard

The new agent signs up and their license transfers to (or is held at) General Referral. They get $20 off their first invoice automatically.
4

You earn your credit

Once that agent has joined and onboarded, a $20 credit is set aside for you and applied to your next membership renewal.
Your referral link lives on your dashboard in the Referral Link card. Open your dashboard, find the card, and use the copy button to grab your link — then paste it into a text, email, or social post.

Your link works anywhere you can paste text — a one-on-one message is usually the most effective, but it’s just as valid in an email signature, a social post, or a group chat.

​
What each side gets

The new agent gets

$20 off their first invoice, applied automatically when they sign up through your link.

You get

A $20 credit toward a future membership renewal — earned once the agent you referred has joined and onboarded.

​
When your $20 credit appears (and why it’s deferred)

Your credit is not applied the moment you share your link or the moment someone clicks it. It’s earned only after the agent you referred has actually joined and their license has transferred to / is held at General Referral (onboarded). This protects the program: the credit is tied to a real agent actually coming aboard, not just a click.
1

A referred agent onboards

The agent who used your link completes sign-up and their license is held at General Referral.
2

Your $20 credit is set aside

A $20 credit is reserved on your account, plan-only (see below).
3

It's applied at your next renewal

At your next membership renewal, the credit reduces that renewal charge — you don’t have to do anything to redeem it.
The credit reduces a future renewal, not your current balance, and it isn’t paid out as cash.

​
The rules

The reward is for bringing an agent who is new to General Referral. If the agent who joins through your link is reactivating — a former member rejoining after previously cancelling — neither side earns the reward: they don’t get the $20 off their first invoice, and you don’t earn the $20 credit for referring them. The same is true in reverse: if you are the one rejoining, using another member’s link won’t earn either of you the reward.
Each $20 credit reduces your membership renewal charge only. It never reduces state licensing fees — those are set by the state, not by General Referral, and aren’t discountable.
Refer as many agents as you like. Each agent who joins and onboards through your link earns another $20 toward a future renewal.
At renewal, the largest amount of credit that fits your membership charge is applied, and any remainder carries forward to your next renewal. (Because credits are plan-only, they’re never applied to state fees.)
If the agent you referred enters a different promo code at checkout, the $20 referral discount won’t also apply — only one code is honored per sign-up. To make sure your referral counts, have them join through your link without entering another code.

​
Frequently asked questions

After the agent you referred actually joins and onboards (their license transfers to / is held at General Referral). The $20 is then applied as a credit to your next membership renewal — it isn’t an immediate credit, and it isn’t paid as cash.
Yes — there’s no cap. Every agent who joins and onboards through your link earns you another $20 toward a future renewal. If you earn more credit than a single renewal charge, the remainder carries to the next one.
No. Referral credits are plan-only — they reduce your General Referral membership renewal, never state licensing fees.
$20 off their first invoice, applied automatically when they sign up through your link.
Only one discount applies per sign-up. If they enter another code at checkout, the $20 referral discount won’t also apply. Have them join through your link without entering another code so your referral is credited.
The reward is for new agents only. If the person who joins through your link is a returning member reactivating their membership, the $20-off and your $20 credit don’t apply. (The same goes if you’re the one rejoining — a reactivating agent can’t trigger a referral reward on either side.)
No. This program is about inviting other agents to join General Referral. Sending a client referral to another agent for a commission is a separate process — see How to submit a referral.
